"Sign of the Beaver"

Students are beginning their first novel of the year! They voted between two books and chose "The Sign of the Beaver." It is a tale of a young boy's trials and tribulations of being left alone in the woods back in the 1700's. The students will be creating their own miniature story book of the novel to read for the first graders during reading buddies.
